I'm starting a new training log. I have been fairly consistent for the last month and just ran a 10k yesterday (where I exceeded my expectations). I'm planning on using a training plan of heavy lifting (with Olympic lifts at the core) 4 days a week, running 2 or 3 days a week, and eating well and often all week. Planning to bulk up until spring and hopefully hit 150# (68kg or 10.71 stone) and then cut and shred before my wedding in July. I know running may ne counterproductive during annulling phase but I value being race-ready over packing in extra pounds, so it is what it is. As far as diet, I'm shooting for 80% raw foods with some non-raw protien powder, sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc.

I really want to make a commitment to post regulary and get back on the forum as well. Can't wait!

Yeaterday's race results: 37th overall. 6th in age group. 47:07. Not bad considering the lack of consistent race training. It was my first 10k (organized race) and it was pretty awesome. Overall winner was a 29 year-old at 35 minutes. Is it overly ambitious to shoot for that next year? I don't care!

Had some vega sport afterward and have been drinking extra water for recovery. I also got in 3 set SPF deadlifts @ 135# (61.25kg) x5 each set at home.

I'll have to get back to you on training. My gym membership inconveniently expired yesterday, so I have to wait until my work can get me onto their plan before I have access to the pearl again. Maybe Tuesday next week at my place? Hit the weights and the website after 7 maybe.

We should definitely make a thing out of Forks Over Knives! I'll let you know as soon as I can figure out when Shauna can come.

Training is good. Had an off day today. Yesterday I did deadlifts and homestyle t-bar rows in my garage.

Thanks so much! While I am happy about it, it was only 37th out of about 300. I'm sure spring and summer races will be much tougher.

However, I'm totally stoked about running my second competitive 10k. Not sure when. I'm hoping I can do it in under 40 minutes. That may be absolute insanity, but I figure that with three months of training, warmer weather, better diet, and increased mental toughness, I have a chance of pulling it off.

Hope you got my note via Twitter or text that I have to be on TV Wed night so I'll miss out on our planned training session.....want to shoot for Fri, Sat, or Sun or multiple days over the weekend?

I'm happy to drive out to your place anytime as long as the roads are not icy. Just have TV Wed, a date on Thur for Forks Over Knives (you're totally welcome to join us!) and then I'll ready to do some filming, photos, training and site stuff on the weekend. Hope to even have some products for you Buddy!
